The Common Market
Sit.—lt was interesting to note the emotional outburst of Mr Linton, chairman of the New Zealand Dairy Board, reported side by side with the reasoned comments of Mr Rennie, president of the Royal Agricultural Society. Ab the latter points nut. various sections of New Zealand primary industry, the £>airy Board included, have been of expanding their empires, regardless of the development of the necee. sary markets. Overproduction of goods of restricted appeal has now reaped its own reward, an incipient depression Now that the United Kingdom wishes join the r-E.C.. Mr Linton wants her to provide New Zealand farmers with a substantial longterm subsidy. Does he really think that the United K T?l? n ’ taxpayer should subsidise his lower-taxed New Zealand counterpart’s higher living standard? Great Britain suffers from the same ailment as New Zealand; trade union pressure on the value of its money. She now has to take drastic measures to dispel the consequent stag, nation. New Zealand must soon do the same.—Yours, etc., P. F. HICKS. Greymouth. June 3, 1961.
